Day 1435,
A lot is fine, watching my boundaries and doing my thing is still on the top of the agenda. Relationship is going fine, but it holds also there. Going to a football match (soccer) with my son tonight.
Have a sober 24 hours.

Towards the end of day 6. Wonderful to wake up sober. Rewired all power and USB cabling in my home studio/gaming room today. Took a good four hours but totally worth it. So much tidier and inspirational. Pretty physical work as the room is small with a lot of stuff in it but it turned out great. Happy just chilling with some YouTube looking forward to an early bedtime and another sober wake-up tomorrow. Hope everyone are fine, have a good one!

I justā¦ you said you were looking for sobriety and found something more. I was asking, is that āsomethingā connection to others? To yourself?

Wow, that was the hardest workout Iāve had to date. 3+ hours in gym. Did a straight 5 min run also as I started a program to learn to run, or build up to a 5k actually.
Anyway, I felt great. Did some percussion gun on legs, and arms. Rolled legs a bit. Felt great, but exhausting.
Just jumped in sauna blanket, 15 mins in, BAM 
, power outā¦ drat! But I have a generator hooked up to meter so cranked er up then jumped in shower. Try sauna tomorrow after leg day!! Just not sure how much fuel is in and itās blowing and raining like nuts so wasnāt gonna check. Cross fingers it holds till power comes on or I go to bed, lol.
Wife is bringing sushi home and weāll watch a movie togetherā¦.
Thatās it folks. Thatās the deal. Living and enjoying with not a worry in sight.
Stay cool all

Checking in at 270 days.
I rescued a surf board and a dinosaur already today. Very eerie to see a surf board all alone in the waves. Alas the surfer (oh to be young again) emerged and I did get a thanks!

Day 679.
Iām tired. Yesterday I went furniture shopping and bought a little dining table and coffee table for my living room. Now it looks like a more proper home. Never thought Iād become houseproudā¦ butā¦ I think itās a side effect of sobriety.
Today I spent the whole day in lectures and watching The Tudors. Not at the same time, obviously. Classes started at 8 am so Iām really exhausted.

Aw man, Iām struggling. I just had a really terrible panic attack, so I took a warm shower, did a 15 min chakra meditation and those finally calmed me down. Now Iām reading Roger Steffenās great book about Bob Marley called āSo Much Things to Say - The Oral History of Bob Marley.ā Iām happy to be sober although now Iām feeling like shit, anxious and all. But waking up tomorrow without hangover is worth it.

So very sorry to hear you are struggling with panic attacks. Iāve been having them now for almost a week every morning. I so feel you. Very glad to hear the shower and meditation helped. Hope the rest of your day is less anxious.

Yeah, I try to come here as often as I can and especially when Iām feeling low. I read threads every day, but I donāt necessary write anything. But from now on, I will write in here when Iām in pain cave. Thanks for reaching out, my friend!
@acromouse Sorry to hear youāre also suffering from panic attacks. Those are so horrible. Iām still in a slight panic, but I can manage it. Hope your panic attacks will fade away soon, my friend!

Day 13
Hanging in there. Got couples therapy counseling next month and Iāve started to attend meetings. Changing my psychiatrist since I donāt feel that we were meshing well and seeing another counselor on top of it all too.
Sometimes I still get the feeling to go back to it too. It was a way to cope and escape for so long, it was like I was someone else for a bit. Just disassociating. But now I know that this is a disease that was eating me, my self esteem, self worth, happiness. Controlled my emotions and way of āfeeling betterā for so long. Itās time to get it all out. No secrets, no hiding. I need to be the me it was keeping down. Thank you all for being here again. If youāre new here, you are not alone in how you feel. Find a group. You will feel the most validated for those inner feelings you have ever felt.
